I'd be interested. I have a lot of user profiles all over the place
and it'd be nice to be able to extract those.
If you're interested in developing a microformat for this purpose,
remember that before investigating existing formats, we need to
investigate real examples from the web of user profiles being
published. There'd be a plethora of examples, I'm sure.
